The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, often credited as one of the best superhero films, elicited a deeply emotional response from none other than Pattinson’s girlfriend, Suki Waterhouse. The actor renowned for his role in the Twilight series stepped into the shoes of Bruce Wayne for the first time in the blockbuster directed by Matt Reeves.
Nonetheless, he openly acknowledged that he was completely afraid before watching the final product during a private screening. During a conversation on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor revealed that he, along with his partner Suki Waterhouse, director Matt Reeves, and his family, viewed the film before its release.
Robert Pattinson Felt Relieved After His Girlfriend Cried
Robert Pattinson expressed a deep sense of fear, revealing that he hadn’t experienced such apprehension about a film release in a while, given the considerable gap between his previous movie releases.
Pattinson said (via Metro.UK):
“I was absolutely terrified. I haven’t been this scared to release a movie in such a long time and I haven’t released a movie in a really long time.”
He further mentioned that he had confidence in the first 90 minutes of the film’s quality. Still, he admitted that he required an optimal balance of serotonin to watch his own work comfortably.
Robert Pattinson expressed uncertainty about whether the director observed his reaction, noting that he watched the film with his girlfriend, emphasizing that her response played a pivotal role in shaping the overall experience.
Pattinson added:
“It was really her reaction that kinda changed the entire thing because I’m pretty sure she’s not normally into watching kind of superhero movies… She just held my hand and just touched it right there and I could feel a little tear and I was like no way.”
Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have maintained a discreet approach to their relationship since they began dating. Their on-and-off romance, which commenced in July 2018, has been a private matter for them, and they choose not to disclose the details.
Robert Pattinson Lied In His Resume To Land Roles
Thanks to his distinctive appearance and his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight series, the British actor has become one of the most instantly recognizable figures. His portrayal of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, before that, only elevated his career, garnering him worldwide recognition due to the immense Harry Potter fanbase.
Nevertheless, prior to achieving fame, Robert Pattinson faced the challenging pursuit of success in Los Angeles, where he was determined to make a breakthrough. In order to distinguish himself and increase his prospects of landing desirable projects, he resorted to fabricating details about his educational background and nationality, even adopting an American accent. During an interview with the Mirror, the actor disclosed,
“I’d been unemployed for ages, and when I came to Los Angeles all the casting directors would ask what I’d been doing for the past few years. I’d say, ‘Oh, I was at RADA’ if you’ve got an English accent you can get away with it. I’d say I went to Oxford, too. I did it for years. But it didn’t work when loads of English people started moving to Los Angeles. So then I pretended to be American for a bit.”
Whether attributed to his acting prowess or the fabrications, the actor successfully secured his iconic Harry Potter role, and from that point onward, his journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
